Explain Buccholz relay in detail.

Answer Posted / basavaraj patil

Buchholz relay is a gas- actuated relay installed in an oil-
immersed transformers for protection against
faults. It is used to gives an alarm in case of slow
developing faults or incipient faults in the transformer
and to disconnect the transformer from the supply in the
event of severe internal faults. It is installed in the
pipe between the conservator and main tank.

When we use air circuit breaker, it has O/L protection ,time delay SC protection, Instataneous SC protection & ground fault protection. They all have some setting range. But what is the suitable/allowable setting for the above protection which will be safe for the equipment? For example-O/L protection setting have a range of (0.4,0.45,0.5,0.55,0.6,0.65,0.7,0.8,0.9,1.0)xIn Time delay SC protection have a range of (1.25,1.5,2,3,4,6,8,10,12)xIn Time delay setting is 0.02,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4 Instataneous setting is fixed to 20xIn Gound fault setting is given 100A,300A,600A,900A,1200A This setting are for 2500A ACB. So what will be the basic allowable setting for the above protection? is there any formulae to calculate this<
